Together, We Rise

From fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people across the country are rising up. This May Day, Tuolumne County joins over 1,000 events in a nationwide movement to reclaim power from billionaires and corporate elites who are trying to dismantle the rights, dignity, and protections workers, families, and community members have fought generations to secure.

Why We’re Rallying in the Sierra Foothills
Here in Tuolumne County, we know what’s at stake. Our rural communities rely on public service workers, federal and state jobs, tourism, education, and healthcare. These are the lifelines of our economy—and they are under threat.

Billionaires like Musk and Trump are moving fast and breaking things:

• Opening up public lands for a made up "energy crisis"
• Defunding schools and essential services for children
• Unnecessarily putting Social Security and Medicaid at extreme risk (employers and employees pay into these trust funds)
• Attacking unions and workers’ rights
• Targeting immigrants and marginalized communities with illegal invasions, arrests, and renditions to foreign gulags.

This is a war on every single one of us. And we are not backing down.

Enough is enough!

May Day Stong - With a Powerful Message
Join us as we rally in non-violent protest to defend the rights of workers, immigrants, families and really, all individuals across the Foothills and beyond.

We’re organizing for a world where everyone has:

• Fair wages and union protection
• Fully funded schools and healthcare
• Safe housing and public services
• Freedom of Rights—regardless of race, immigration status, or zip code - this includes due process!

May Day Strong: We are the Many · May Day Strong

Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. **We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes**—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness. Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices. **May Day 2025 we are standing united.** We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status. They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and **we will not stand down**. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong. This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. **Their time is up.** STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.
